“Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.”
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
Living a single day where you notice important changes happening around you is much more valuable than living a long life without paying attention to these changes. Imagine watching a sunrise and sunset in one day. You notice how the sky changes colors and how morning turns into night. This experience teaches you more about nature's beauty and how things change over time than if you lived for a hundred years without ever taking the time to look up at the sky. In real life, being aware of ups and downs, like seeing a business grow and then face challenges, makes you wiser than if you never noticed these changes. It’s like seeing a country go through difficult times and then slowly get better. You learn the lessons of resilience and progress. Applying this to your life means paying attention to important moments and changes, as they help you grow and understand the world better, rather than letting life pass by without noticing anything significant.
